[libvirt] [PATCH] news: Update for 4.0.0
Posted by Andrea Bolognani 6 years, 3 months ago
As usual, a bunch of changes slipped through the cracks during the
development cycle. Update the release notes to include at least the
most notable.

Signed-off-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>

I'll push this tomorrow morning under the "can't possibly be worse
than leaving it alone" rule, so that it makes it into the release,
unless I get feedback earlier.

.. I wanted to advertise this once these are merged:

so that users can have full experience.

I know that there are going to be more features down the line,
that's why I mentioned it's "basic" support ;)

I can pull that from the release notes, if you'd prefer, but it
makes sense to me that we would both list basic bash completion
as a new feature for this release, and list much improved bash
completion as an improvement next release. It's also more accurate
from the "code archeology" point of view, assuming we care about
that at all.

Okay, fair enough. Leave that in and once the patches are merged we can
advertise "enhanced support" :-)
